    Hey guys,
    Basically, im not a huge gamer but i do like to play games when i have the time and so i wanted your guys advice as you know some what more about laptops than myself.
    I wish to play HL2 at a decent setting with a decent frame rate - now with this laptop it is possible, until i try doing something like going out to a large open space. What upgrades do i need to make to my laptop to enable me to play HL2? Also, more importantly, can i even make these upgrades and how would i go about it? as i always hear about how you cant upgrade laptops....dont make me buy a desktop - it's too much a pain in the arse to carry back and to uni. I have experience in upgrading most componants of desktops (if not all) just not with laptops.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.
